Support for Multiple Compilers
Simply Fortran's integrated development environment supports alternative compilers along with the GNU Fortran compiler. Easily selected from an options menu, the compiler characteristics are mapped to Simply Fortran's workflow for a seamless experience.
Our Windows package includes a Fortran compiler, but it can easily be configured to use LLVM's Flang compiler, OpenWatcom's legacy toolchain, or even a user-defined personality targeting another compiler. Under Windows 10 or 11, Simply Fortran can quickly be configured to use a compiler under the Windows Subsystem for Linux, creating, running, and debugging native Linux executables from within the Windows-based development environment.
On GNU/Linux, users can easily select the Flang compiler personality for use within Simply Fortran. Creating alternate personalities means that cross-compiling for other architectures or platforms from Simply Fortran becomes as easy as selecting the proper personality from a drop-down menu.
WebFortran Integration
Simply Fortran also includes a WebFortran personality to use Approximatrix's hosted compiler. WebFortran allows cross-compiling for Windows and GNU/Linux on all platforms with minimal installation requirements.
